I'm an old-school blogger. I'll say that right up front. I truly believe that in order to have any believability as a blogger, I have to be completely honest in my writing. The idea of getting paid to write a review BY a company pimping a product doesn't mesh well with that mentality.
Don't get me wrong; I still write product reviews for sites like Epinions where you might make a few dollars on a review if you are LUCKY, but [...]

Phoja is a new social community that is focused around photographs.
At first glance, it seemed like a Flickr-Digg mashup with its ranking system, but then I realized the differences, and the true potential that Phoja has.
This Melbourne-based startup was established in mid-2007 with an aim to encourage social discussion and community recommendations based on photographs.
The way I see it, there are 2 primary ways in which Phoja can be beneficial for users. Not including, of course, the benefits from [...]

By now, you’ve likely heard or read about YouTube’s official debut of overlay advertisements, distributed by a system dubbed, appropriately enough, InVideo. If you’ve browsed the site quite a bit in the past few days, chances are you might have already seen one or two or more such spots presented in the new format.
If so, you might be wondering if you’ll be seeing a lot more of them as time passes. You might be wondering whether they’ll eventually be everywhere, [...]

Google has the wrong name. Rather than naming themselves after a number with 100 zeroes, they should have named themselves Kudzu, after the insidious creeping vine that encompasses much of the southeast U.S. The latest area they are creeping into? Customized site search for small business.
Google announced Custom Search Business Edition today, touting the expansion of the Custom Search Engine introduced last fall with XML support, easily customized look-and-feel to match a company's web site, and the ability to turn [...]

If you are an ad publisher who has been waiting for a way to bring revenue to your mobile phone-capable website, Scott over at the Self Made Minds blog has announced Google Adsense for Mobile is currently in beta stage and undergoing testing. Up until now, there was really only one option with the service AdMob, but Google’s entry into the mobile advertising market is setting out to change that.
AdMob has been available for mobile publishers for over a [...]

If I'd seen the information on Scriptless Day on the first of April, I'd have been convinced I was being taken by another April Fool's Day joke, but apparently, this is no joke. Some crazies (and I'm using that term with the utmost affection, I assure you) have decided that the best way to highlight the way in which we should give thanks to what JavaScript has brought us in the form of Ajax and Web 2.0 applications is to [...]

Below the fold on the front page of Saturday’s Wall Street Journal, Google laid out its plans for a major expansion of its advertising business. In the way Google conquered the online world with Adwords and Adsense, the company hopes to do the same with television, and to a lesser extent, radio (not working so well) and print.
And there’s no need waiting for them to make a grand entrance into either industry. No need to wait for a big red [...]

Louise Story wrote an article yesterday in the New York Times that you might all find interesting. According to the story Google and Yahoo! have a new competitor in the contextual ad department. Quigo Technologies is a tiny effective and growing company that bills itself as an alternative to the giants.
In the last year a few large media sites like FoxNews.com and ESPN.com have stopped using Google and Yahoo in favor of Quigo. In fact 17 [...]

In the earlier post, I talked about the “bubble” hype, and the reality from a money perspective; here, I’ll continue with the next driver that I see transforming Web 2.0.
I’ve written about the growth of online advertising, and the Long Tail element; here’s where it helps drive a stronger Web 2.0.
Personally, I don’t think that the pure ad supported model is one that any venture should rely on; because that requires achieving scale before you get to a sustainable position. [...]
